This proves exactly what I've been maintaining for some time. I could detect no discernable difference in the IQ from my TZ30, LF1 or Canon S100. My TZ60 IQ is, if anything better than my TZ30 so by definition there will be no differences between it and the LF1 either.. I gave Erik Ohlson a link to my S100/TZ30 comparisons and he agreed - any differences were so minimal as to be insignificant.

Comparing the two images you've presented here, I would say that without doubt the TZ60 IQ is better - it is considerably sharper in the corners then that from the LF1

No doubt the nerds will now clamour to condemn my point of view, claiming that the LF1 is smaller by a zillionth of an inch along axis XY and is also lighter by a few grams but it will make no difference - I sold my LF1 to fund the purchase of my TZ60 and I have no regrets at all, in fact I'm overjoyed

Hi Dave, I guess we typed at the same time

Fedex is said to be delivering my ZS40 on SATURDAY - why so long???

Almost a WEEK ! Fedex??

I hope it does use the same battery as my ZS25, so I can get it going as soon as the box is open.

Latest in-depth reviews

The Fujifilm X-H1 is a top-of-the-range 24MP mirrorless camera with in-body stabilization and the company's most advanced array of video capabilities. We've tested the X-T2's big brother extensively to see how it performs.

Panasonic's Lumix DC-GX9 is a rangefinder-style mirrorless camera that offers quite a few upgrades over its predecessor, with a lower price tag to boot. We've spent the weekend with the GX9 and have plenty of thoughts to share, along with an initial set of sample photos.

The Panasonic GH5S is best understood as an even more video-centric variant of the GH5. We've tested it in a range of circumstances to see whether the video improvements are worth the loss of stabilization.
